4.9 Exercises

1. Start a new drawing with the following parameters:

   1.1	Grid: 1
   1.2	Snap: ½
   1.3	Lower left limits: 0,0
   1.4	Upper right limits: 36,24
   1.5	Text Heights: 3/8", 3/16", 1/4" & 1/8"
   1.6	Create the organizational chart in Fig. 4.9.1a ( next page). Feel free to substitute names for those used. Fig. 4.9.1: Organizational Chart (HINT: Most of my students spend an hour or so drawing a number of rectangles only to discover that the text won't fit, then must redraw them after entering the text. Enter the text first .)
   1.7	Save the drawing as: MyOrg in the C:\Steps\Lesson04 folder.

2. Create the Isometric Block drawing in Fig. 4.9.2a, complete with text. Use the MyIsoGrid1 template file you created in the C:\Steps\Lesson03 folder. [If that file isn't available, use the IsoGrid1 file in the same folder.] Don't do the dimensions. Save the drawing as MyIsoTxt in the C:\Steps\Lesson04 folder.

3. Create the Border drawing in Fig. 4.9.3b using the following parameters:

   3.1	Grid: start with 1
   3.2	Snap: as needed
   3.3	Lower left limits: 0,0
   3.4	Upper right limits: 36,24
   3.5	Text size : 3/8, ¼, 1/8
   3.6	Border starts at ½, ½ and is ½" in from the limits on all sides (use the Title Block Detail to help)
   3.7	Save the drawing as MyBorder in the C:\Steps\Lesson04 folder.

4. Using the MyIsoGrid2 template you created in Lesson 3 (or the IsoGrid2 template in the Lesson 3 folder), create the drawing in Fig. 4.9.4a.

   
   Figure 4.9.4a: Blocks

   4.1	Text should be ¼" and use the Times New Roman font
   4.2	Use the grid to guide your dimensions
   4.3	Save the drawing as MyBlocks.dwg in the C:\Steps\Lesson04 folder.

5. Using what you have learned, create the drawings in Figures 4.9.5b through 4.9.5e. Use a 1:1 scale on an 8 ½"x11" sheet of paper for each. I used a ¼" grid when I drew them. Use the title block (fig. 4.9.5a) when creating the border.
